Our 12 favourite Rooibos recipes to celebrate National Rooibos Day

Rooibos is a firm favourite in South Africa and we absolutely understand why. Not only does it have a wonderful history, but the health benefits that come with drinking Rooibos make us love it even more.

Fortunately for us, Rooibos is plentiful and we don't have to pay too much for it. It's not just limited to a drinking tea. You can add it to your bakes, desserts and many other things.

A number of studies have been done, articles have been written but the question still has not been fully answered. Rooibos tea is South African staple loved across the country as much as it is loved across the world. The tea, which is grown in the Western Cape and nowhere else, is known for its earthy-red colour and lack of bitterness.
